Easily manipulated people, as seen in the article, are why fear-campaigns are so successful.

Now that outdoor wearing of masks and other nuances are fading away on property. I and quite a few people I know are straining at the start line for run Disney to get in gear and unveil a new FULL schedule of live, on property, running events. Outdoors, fresh air, active healthy exercise and (hold on to your running shorts) happy healthy guests that will be spending park time (= more MONEY) post running event. Disney vs COVID19 = Disney wins.
I never said, my only point was that CDC changed recommendations regarding mask wearing because science informed that decision, had nothing to do with supply of masks (yea demand for masks would then quickly exceed supply)

Fauci said US government held off promoting face masks because it knew shortages were so bad that even doctors couldn't get enough
Anthony Fauci said medical shortages were a reason the public was discouraged from using masks early in the coronavirus pandemic.

There are a lot of dials that I think the company wants to turn for things in 2022 but I wonder if there is any hesitance to know what do plan for without knowing if the fall and winter could see the virus re-emerge as a widespread problem.
I think it's better for them to plan on having as much of all facets of pre-March 2020 operations to return by Holiday 2021, but I don't know what they're thinking.

For some reason, the ad algorithm today thinks I can afford a private jet, and that I enjoy watching basketball. The answer to both of those is a big "No".

Yes, and even those who did not experience it but watched loved ones suffer, the trauma is real. For some anxiety is also high and hopefully it can lessen. This was hard on many and we must respect when people are not ready yet.
It's taken me a long time to come to terms with this too. I'm grateful my kid has not been as anxious as I am and same with my husband.

This is interesting. Scott Gottlieb basically saying that in a “week or two, nobody will be wearing a mask” because the Covid case count will be so low.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb says 'nobody is going to be wearing' masks by June — CNBC
Former FDA chief Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Monday he expects by next month the prevalence of Covid is going to be "sufficiently low in this country."

I posted an article of an interview with Scott Gottlieb who said masks would be gone by June pretty much everywhere because the case count is so low and the vaccines are so good. I posted the article link a little bit ago, but it’s awaiting moderator approval. Maybe because it was through Apple News? It’s a good read though if anyone wants to look it up, and it’s from this morning.

So I went to 5 places this morning and just make sure your mask is in your pocket or somewhere convenient.
Went to Walmart for a few outdoor plants, welcomed in with no mask. Off to Lowe’s where the mask was back on.. to Home Depot where it was needed also then to breakfast, had to wear it walking in but as most know off at the table! Lastly I went to one of my favorite pretzel places, Philly Pretzel Factory.. I know, right after breakfast but wanted one, and no sign and employees and customers maskless.
Just keep it handy for now.

Don't know if this has been posted. Delta Airlines will require all new employees to receive the Covid vaccine. Currently employees are not required, but it may limit what roles they can perform due to other countries requirements.

I get ads on FB regularly for high dollar autopilot systems for yachts. I don’t know what Eddie they have me confused with, but I’d like to find out and steal his identity.
I would guess the biggest hurdle to restarting nighttime shows at this point is the staffing and logistics needed to get them back up and running. We'll see how the country does over the next month but July seems perfectly reasonable.

Maybe next month or July as Murphy will lift indoor mask mandate soon, as masks will be gone for sure....
New York City Marathon Will Return in November (Published 2021)
The race will have 33,000 entrants, instead of the usual 55,000. But staging it will satisfy runners desperate to run again.
Hopefully it will change to 100% capacity as there will no more masks and social distancing for good by November 7 as we will back to normal soon enough. Is there will be no more surges / spikes by fall/winter anymore because enough people are vaccinated.

Murphy is being cautious but I’m sure they will move forward as cases fall off further. He hasn’t said when exactly. Next door in PA the Governor is keeping the mask mandates until 70% of adults are vaccinated with both shots. He flexed to the new CDC guidelines for fully vaccinated people, but unvaccinated people (including children) need to still wear masks. Once 70% of adults have both shots then masks are gone for everyone. The state is at 67.5% of adults with 1 shot so we need about 250K additional adults to get the shot and then follow up in 3 to 4 weeks with shot 2. Should be done by the end of June.

Phase 3 in Orange County will be interesting. ALL MANDATES will be gone. Universal will of course jump on the bandwagon ASAP but I think Disney will also jump on it too judging how fast the attractions relaxed restrictions after phase 2
